Re: KT-s747 (ZBrush Pistol)
i think the more important thing isn't so much "softer" edges but "wider" edges. if you look at the 3 point models for brink you'll see that while the edges are very thick and beefy you'll also see that the shapes still read as being tough, mechanical objects. it's a really common misconception that softer edges must =… -
Re: KT-s747 (ZBrush Pistol)
I coulnd't do three variations in 10 minutes, Thats for sure ! I'm having a hell of time making an example out of a square. And to clarify, when i said "you can treat it just like a model in max", I meant you can add edge loops. The way you add them is much, Much, Slower. But i should be able to come up with a few… -
Re: KT-s747 (ZBrush Pistol)
Yeah, They do. I like the old sight as well, and i may still make a variant with it. But i was having issues placing a nice looking mount either on the frame or the grip, or anywhere but the slide :P can't be mounting be heavy objects straight to the slide. Here is an example of the sights: Uploaded with ImageShack.us -
Re: KT-s747 (ZBrush Pistol)
Took a break to work on some other things yesterday. Here is an update though: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Also, i totally forgot about zbrushs edge loop functions. You could make a retopologize version in quads, Then Just hide everything but your edges and add edge loops with the click of a… -
Re: KT-s747 (ZBrush Pistol)
So here i did a quick retopo of the slide. At this point, you can treat it basicaly like a mesh in max and play with all your edge loops and such. With this method, Like computron mentioned, a huge array of edge control is possible. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Only down side to this really, is zbrush crashes A LOT when… -
Re: KT-s747 (ZBrush Pistol)
First off, Thanks and Ill do some fresh renders a little alter. I didnt do much with the above. Just a few different shaders and did a BPR. I plan on doing some high quality renders in max once i learn the ins and outs of Vray. To start from the top going down; I started modeling out of boredom and curiosity in 3ds max.… -
Re: KT-s747 (ZBrush Pistol)
I decided to do the rear sight for better example. I tried making a proper material in max, but it seems its beyond me to get that workng properly. Anyway, This was made in about 20 minutes. Thats mesh variations, Unrwrap(in max), and then subdivide and bake in zbrush. Screen grabbed from UDK, Sense i had no other way of… -
Re: KT-s747 (ZBrush Pistol)
The point here isn't "I can make a cube! And in only 3 minutes!", But for example, here is a cube. From the point i opened zbrush, Make the default primitive square a poly mesh, selected a zSphere, Make the ouline then added a loop on each face point by point, It took about 5 minutes. Duplicating and subdividing the the… -
Re: KT-s747 (ZBrush Pistol)
I dunno if you were maybe a little too hasty in dropping the bullpup magazine configuration! This means it's a good time to maybe spend a little more time calibrating scale. From the first couple of pics with the rounds in them, I can see that your scale is more consistent with the original machine pistol concept, which… -
Re: KT-s747 (ZBrush Pistol)
Fantastic advice ! Thank you very much. And to adress edge cotrol, Theres alot. But its very different than max or maya i think. While i was reading, I thought to my self, How can i widen the edges on the slide? And i couldn't really think of anything, Aside from cliping and smoothing. But i thought of a few ways that…
